Hi Ales,
I am currently testing the modifications I suggested in do_write_oneword and
do_erase_oneblock regarding polling. If you want my sources to test it
and/or improve it yourself, just let me known. Otherwise, when I will have
tested it throughfully, I will commit it into the CVS tree.
Regards,
Frédéric Giasson

|I agree. I would also prefer the DQ6 and DQ5 testing.
